Weather Summary
Kari Kiefer
Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, May 24, 2012.

Severe weather developed over the North Central US on Thursday, as a low pressure system moved over the Upper Midwest. This created a frontal boundary that stretched from the Great Lakes through the Central Plains and produced moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms. These storms produced heavy rainfall and strong winds for Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Rainfall totals ranged around 2 inches across the region, with heaviest rainfall reported in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a mid-day total of 2.10 inches. Flood advisories have been issued across the Upper Midwest due to this low moving frontal boundary. Meanwhile, the back side of this system allowed for another front to linger over the Northern Rockies. This system stretched into the Pacific Northwest and produced scattered showers throughout the day. Cooler temperatures over Northern Rockies allowed for snow showers to develop at the highest elevations in western Montana and northwestern Wyoming.

South of this activity, winds increased over the Southwest as a trough of low pressure moved in from the west. This created another warm and dry day for Arizona, New Mexico, and the Great Basin, which kept fire danger high.

In the East, heavy rainfall and strong winds associated with thunderstorm activity continued over southern Florida and the Bahamas. To the north, however, lighter and more widespread showers persisted in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states as a frontal boundary stalled over the region.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:20 PM PDT on May 24, 2012

... Wind Advisory now in effect from 5 PM this afternoon to 8 am PDT
Friday...

The Wind Advisory is now in effect from 5 PM this afternoon to 8 am
PDT Friday for the Owens Valley.

* Winds: west winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph possible.

* Timing: strong downslope winds will develop late this
afternoon... remain strong through much of the night... then begin
to diminish around daybreak. The best chance for these winds
reaching the Owens Valley will be early this evening through 500
am Friday morning.

* Locations: Bishop... Westgard Pass... and the Ancient Bristlecone
Pine Forest. The western edge of the Owens Valley will be most
susceptible to the strong downslope winds.

* Impacts: strong Crosswinds may be seen on Highway 395 making
driving difficult. In addition... areas of blowing sand and dust
may significantly lower visibilities.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that winds are expected to be strong enough
